"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
Not the first time I've heard that question asked.
Let's talk about favorites:
Favorite episode: Mushroom Samba, it's one of the funniest episodes of CB.
Favorite moment: When the old mechanic and his assistant launched the space shuttle. That part was simply amazing, it was almost like watching a real shuttle launch except it was somehow cooler.
Favorite character that isn't Spike: Ed. Childish, somewhat crazy, and computer genius. Deep down isn't that what we all want to be?
Quote:The shuttle that was launched by Doohan in that episode was the Columbia.
As we all know now, that could not possibly ever happen.
True, unless they decide to build another one [although it looks like the shuttle program is being scrapped now], it's not quite the same now but it was really exciting the first time I saw it.
